The base recipe is: 1/3 cup chia seeds (organic if possible)
1.5 cups milk (your choice...Almond, Coconut, Cow's Milk, Soy, etc)
1 cup of berries (washed and drained or 2 ripe bananas)
Directions:
If using bananas, mash the bananas into small bits
Add the Chia (I use Bob's Red Mill)and Milk of your choice - mix so the seeds are thoroughly covered in liquid
OPTION: Add unsweetened coconut, stir
Put in the refrigerator to let solidify. This can be done the night before for breakfast or before you start making dinner for desert. Let chill about 1 hour.
The first time you get it out of the fridge, if you with the consistency to be "runnier" you may add more liquid. I suggest 1/4 cup at a time.
Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon (good for metabolism), granola, or dried fruit when you serve.
If you wish to make this into a desert:
Add honey to sweeten (about 1/3 cup) or
Use SWEETENED Almond/Coconut Milk or
Use SWEETENED coconut or
Add chocolate chips
